Thinkin' About Ya
The idea for this clean and simple card combining this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge and this week's Color Throwdown rainbow challenge came to me as I was falling asleep for a nap yesterday afternoon. Luckily, it stayed in my mind as I slept (longer than I'd intended to . . .) and came together just as I'd imagined once I woke up.
I used Waltzingmouse's Gingham & Co stamp set on a light blue panel to make a fun patterned background for my die cut rainbow focal image. The rainbow bands are cut with a die from Lil' Inker Designs, as is the fluffy white felt cloud at the rainbow's base. I set the blue panel on a white card base, then attached four scraps of cardstock, matching the colors in the rainbow, along the bottom of the panel. The "thinkin' about ya" sentiment from the Frame It set is stamped at the top of the panel in red ink to finish the rainbow-themed scene.
Materials Used:
Gingham & Co. and Frame It stamp sets (Waltzingmouse Stamps); white cardstock (Xerox); Real Red and Bashful Blue Classic inks, Bashful Blue, Real Red, Daffodil Delight, and Tempting Turquoise cardstock (Stampin' Up!); Simply Chartreuse cardstock (Papertrey Ink); Rainbows & Clouds dies (Lil' Inker Designs); foam tape
